What's new in this version (1.1.6):
Fixed the issue with settings dialog (introduced in previous build).
Description
With OwnerInfo widget you offer the person who finds the lost phone an easy way to return it to you.
Another important use is to inform people how they can help you if you appear in unconscious state due to disease or accident. You can include basic medical and treatment information to the scope of information that you provide to other people.
OwnerInfo widget resembles Owner Information item of Today screen in Windows Mobile, and provides additional functionality, such as possibility to take certain actions.
You specify owner information by tapping on the widget after you add it for the first time. After that configuration dialog can be opened via application list (Set Owner Information).
Tap on widget text opens Details window with detailed information and action buttons (Call phone, Send SMS, Send e-mail).
Tap on widget button executes default action (you choose the action in Settings).
The widget does not work on stock lock screen and never will (unless Android platform offers a lock screen with widgets). If you use a pin-protected lock screen, use Widget Locker application to have widgets on the lock screen.
If the widget doesn't work for you, visit the homepage to submit an issue report instead of leaving comments (which are useless in solving problems).
Required permissions are needed to place a direct call or send SMS when the device is locked (and the widget is invoked from WidgetLocker).

Brilliant creation.

Shows nothing on the lockscreen???...then what's the point? The idea is to have "the finder" contact you without having access to your phone...

Love it. Great idea.

Pretty useless if you have a password. Must use in conjunction with a lockscreen widget which can bypass security, and then again useless.

Should read contacts instead of the manual entry, and provide more display options. I.e. just owner info, no button or taps needed

Useless if it wont show contact info on the lock screen (since they cant unlock it)
